TIE ST. LANDRY CONTEST.

Capitolian-AdVocate.l
Messrs. Leon Jastremski, P. Mealey
| and Lionel Adams, constituting the
subcommittee empowered by the Dem
cratic State Central Committee to COM
pose differences in parishes having dual
Parish Executive Committees, met at
Opelousas on Thursday last, October
~. DR.. r. H. Littell, Hon. Henry L.
Garland. Thos. Fl. Lewis, Esq, and
others, presented themselves as sub
committee with plenary powers to act
| for the Littell Committee. Judge Z.
D. Estilette, Hon. w. A. Robertson,
| Laurent Dupre, Esq, and others, APP
| peared as members or the Estilette
| Committee, whereupon Judge Estiletse
stated that he had been unable by rea-
son Of collecting notifications to assem-
| BILE his committee and could not act au-
thoritatively for them. On motion of
Mr.. Lionel Adams, three days time was
offered Judge Estilette to convene and
obtain the views of his committee,
| whereupon DR.. Robertson, with the as
sent of the other gentlemen, suggested
that they could formulate plan by s
o'clock D. 10. that would surely receive
the sanction of the Estilette Committee.
Upon this understanding a recess was
taken until o'clock p. m. to consider
the suggestion of the representatives
of the dual committees. Later, the
members of the Estilette committee re-
considered their proposition to act for
their committee, though Judge Esti-
lette, upon his individual responsibility,
agreed to file papers showing the status
of bis committee and plan Of compos-
ing existing differences. He excused
himself from appearing before the
committee, by reason of his desire to
avoid further discussion of the matter
at issue. The subcommittee of the
Democratic State Central Committee
proceeded to careful examination of
the papers before them, and concluded
to order an election for q new commit
tee to supersede the existing commit
tees, as the only practicable solution
of the disagreement. They drew up an
order OF election, which appears else
where, according, as near as possible,
equal representation to the dual COM
mittees in the control of the election.
1t is always difficult matter to form
ulate plan of settlement in such cases
that will give entire satisfaction to all
parties, yet the subcommittee feel that
they have acted with entire impartiali-
ty, and that the conditions they have
laid down will receive the sanction OF
the party everywhere.

In Brief, And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. DisordereG
liver is misery. Indigestion is Il foe tt
good nature,
The human digestive apparatus is
one Of the most complicated and won
derfnstlilngs in existence. 1t is easily
put out OF order.
Greasy food, Tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspcptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie SO healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health aud happiness to the dys-
beptlc. Ask your druggist for a bot
tie. Seventyive cents. 2

The McEnery people have peculiar
way Of advertising their public meet
ings. In addition to their own speak
ers they publish that Gen. Nichols,
Senator Gibson, Judge White, and 9th
ers accompanying Gen. Nichols have
been invited, and are expected to be
present; when they we'll know
that General Nichols and bis
companions are attending appoint
1nents in North Louisiana previously
made. For instance, it had been an
nounced for some time that Gen.
Nichols and party would speak at
Lake Providence in East Carroll par
ish on Nov. 21st; yet knowing this, the
McEneryites advertised last week that
they were invitad and expected to at
tend q McEnery meeting at Rayne in
Acadia parish, on that same day. OF
course, they knew that it would be i'm
possible for Gen. Nichols to attend this
meeting, even if he desired to. 1t ia plain
that the purpose of such false ADVERTISE
ment is to draw a large crowd, that
might be prompted to attend through
curiosity to hear the speaking contest
between these opposing candidates and
their assistants. Every trade has its
tricks; but the trade Of the profession
al politician seems to abound more in
tricks than any other.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-11-19

The New Orleans States exultingly
proclaims that Nichols was turned out
of office by the bulldozers. Now, every
body in Ouachita parish will remember
that the bulldozers opposed calling a
constitutional convention in 1878. Nc
Emery himself stumped the parish
against the calling of convention and
was an ardent and devoted supporter
of Nichols administration. Theobolds
voted against calling Thea convention.
1t Is, therefore, palpable tint the States
has got its history Wrong.-cTelegraph'

The McEnerytes seem to have a hard
time to find some one. to accept the ap-
pointment of justice of the peace in the
newly created Plaquemine Point ward.
They have not given it to any OF the
two or three McEneryites there, because
these latter have no influence with the
voters-that the appointee should be an
influential man seems to be a sine qua
non with the appointing power and so
far no Nichols man-and the ward is
almost unanimous for him-has been
found who would accept the office con-
ditionally. This parish is emphatically
for Nichols.

OPELOUSAS NEEDS

churches.
A foundry, sash, blind and cotton
factories.
More country butter, game and vege-
tables on the market.
An addition to the supply of marriage
able young men.

'1f it were time that the machinery

from the manner in which You have
acted in all questions pertaining to the
public Intelligence, We imagine that
you never had any respect to lose.
However, don't the famous law COM
pelling tickets to be purchased of a
State official, and torbldtling erasures

attempt to thwart the will of
the people 7 But pardon Us Governor,
